  so the letter had his name on it already, does that mean someone knew he'd come, or that it's been there waiting his whole life?

  why do you think he didn't believe the stories until today? was it the "i'm 17" thing, or something else about how the village talked about it?

  the part about the portraits following him and the grandfather clocks ticking at different speeds, that unsettled feeling is so well built

  idk, the whole vibe of a mansion that sounds like it's *waiting* for something hits different. feels less haunted and more like... intentional?
